If you're having problems locating your mouse, perhaps try using a 
larger rodent like a rat or even a pacarana if you're really 
struggling.....but be careful; although I've never wiggled one myself, 
they can be a bit grumpy and get vicious when provoked and I've heard 
they don't take too kindly to being wiggled :)


There's usually accessibility options with hot keys that zoom in the 
screen at the cursor location.
